AAs a boy growing up in India，I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s，with great interest.My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe，where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium，Netherlands and West Germany.I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand，during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is otherwise scared of flying.After spending almost two weeks in Europe，we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport，for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河)，it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation，but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a mostenjoyable experience yet again，with the quality of their service.Being the first airline to take me overseas，Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying，in general，for me，has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience)．Flying on Lufthansa，however，is something I always have and always will look forward to.31．Which country does the author live in now?A．India. B．Canada. C．Belgium. D．Germany. 32．What made the author so interested in traveling abroad?A．Growing up in India. B．Once staying in Canada.C．Once traveling to Canada with his father.D．His father's stories about his traveling experiences.33．Which of the following is TRUE about the author's trip to Europe in 1998? A．The author traveled with one of his parents.B．Both their going and return are by air.C．They traveled in spring that year. D．They stayed in Europe for nearly two months.34．It can be inferred from the passage that Lufthansa is ________.A．a city in India B．a city in Europe C．an airline company D．a travel agency 35．The underlined word “sombre” in the 4th paragraph probably means “________”．A．happy B．sad C．angry D．enjoyableBThe Beatles were the most influential band in pop history. In their 8-year, 11-album history, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically. And it wasn't just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand for. The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life.Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today. However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never been remastered (重新灌录). But on September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire band's music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said British newspaper the Financial Times.The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the location where the band produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of1969, featured the four young men striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most famous of all Beatles images.Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation.Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured (持久). Why? Paul McCartney's biographer Barry Miles has an explanation: “They were the first rock band… and they just happened to be the b est. They were the first band to play stadiums, to have their own products. They were ground-breaking in every way，” he says.36．Why did the Beatles change popular culture?A．Because of the suits of the four Liverpool boys.B．Because of changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore. C．Because of their albums.D．Because of their different attitude to life.37．Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the second paragraph? A．The Beatles influenced people at its height in the 1960s.B．Their music Yesterday had never been remastered.C．The entire band's music in a digital makeover will be remastered.D．On September 9, their music came to an end.38．What is their last album?A．Yesterday. B．Abbey Road of 1969. C．Come Together. D．In My life. 39．What is NOT the reason why their music can endure?A．They were the first rock band.B．They were the best one.C．They were the first band to play stadiums and to have their own works. D．They wore special suits.C“What is the most imp ortant thing you've done in your life？” The question was put to me during a presentation I gave to a group of lawyers.The answer came to me in an instant. It's not the one I gave, because the situation was not right. As a lawyer in the entertainment industry, I knew the audience wanted to hear some amusing stories about my work with well-known people, but here's the true answer：The most important thing I've ever done occurred on October 8, 1990. I began the day playing tennis with an old friend I hadn't seen for a while. Between points we talked about what had been happening in each other's lives. He and his wife had just had a baby boy, who was keeping them up at night.While we were playing, a car came screaming up the road toward the courts. It was my friend's father, who shouted to my friend that his baby had stopped breathing and was being rushed to the hospital. In a flash my friend was in the car and gone, disappearing in a cloud of dust.For a moment I just stood there, paralyzed(呆若木鸡). Then I tried to figure out what I should do. Follow my friend to the hospital? There was nothing I could accomplish there, I convinced myself. My friend's son was in the care of doctors and nurses, and nothing I could do or say would affect the outcome. Be there for moral support? Well, maybe. But my friend and his wife both had large families, and I knew they'd be surrounded by relatives who would provide more than enough comfort and support, whatever happened. All I could do at the hospital, I decided, was to get in the way. Also, I had planned a full day with my family, who were waiting for me to get home. So I decided to head back to my house and check in my friend later.As I started my car, I realized that my friend had left his truck and keys at the courts. I now faced another problem. I couldn't leave the keys in the truck. So I decided to go to the hospital and give him the keys.When I arrived, I was directed to a room where my friend and his wife were waiting. As I had thought, the room was filled with family members silently watching my friend comfort his wife. I went in and stood by the door, trying to decide what to do next. Soon a doctor appeared. He approached my friend and his wife, and in a quiet voice told them that their son had died.For a long time the two held each other and cried, unaware of the rest of usstanding around in pained silence. After they had calmed themselves, the doctor suggested they spend a few moments with their son.My friend and his wife stood up and walked past their families. When they reached the door, my friend saw me standing in the corner. He came over and hugged me and started to cry. My friend's wife hugged me, too, and said, “Thanks for being here.”For the rest of that morning, I sat in the emergency room of that hospital and watched my friend and his wife hold the body of their infant son, and say goodbye.It's the most important thing I have ever done. The experience taught me two lessons.First: The most important thing I've ever done happened when I was completely helpless. None of the things I had learned in university, in three years of law school or in six years of legal practice were of any use in that situation. Something terrible was happening to people I cared about, and I was powerless to change the outcome. All I could do was standing by and watching it happen. And yet it was critical that I do just that—just be there when someone needed me.Second: The most important thing I've done almost didn't happen because of things I had learned in classroom and professional life. Law school taught me how to take a set of facts, break them down and organized them. These skills are critical for lawyers. When people come to us for help, they're often stressed out and depend on a lawyer to think logically. But while learning to think, I almost forget how to feel. Today I have no doubt that I should have leapt into my car without hesitation and followed my friend to the hospital.From that experience I learned that the most important thing in life isn't the money you make, the status you attain or the honors you achieve. The most important thing in life is the kids‟ team you coach or the poem you write--- or the time when you‟re just somebody‟s friend.40. When he was asked about the most important thing he had done in life at a presentation, the author ________.A. felt it was not an interesting questionB. thought for a while and spoke his mindC. gave an answer from a lawyer's point of viewD. didn't give the real answer41. When he saw his friend rush to the hospital, the author could not decide whether to follow mainly because he thought ________.A. he had to stay with his familyB. his friend did not need his helpC. he would not be of much helpD. the baby would be in the doctor's care42. What can we infer from the author's description of the scene at the hospital?A. He found out that he was in the way.B. He would have felt guilty if he had not been there.C. He regretted that he went too later.D. His friend would have felt better if he had not been there.43. Which of the following is conveyed in this story?A. Family and relatives can not take the place of friends.B. More people are a great comfort when one is in trouble.C. It is best to be here when someone needs you.D. You can certainly help a friend if you want to.44. The author learned from his own experience that________.A. what is taught in school is usually of no useB. a lawyer cannot learn much in classroomsC. a lawyer should know people's feeling firstD. he needs to be able to feel as well as think logically45. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that the author________.A. is fond of writing poemsB. is going to coach the kid's teamC. is determined to make friends with everybodyD. is fully aware of the importance of being helpful to those in needDYou love Jay Chou's songs and you can sing some quite well. So you make a video of your performance and post it online for your friends to see. But what if this led to something beyond your wildest imagination—a career in music?Canadian teenager Justin Bieber, 16, has just had the magical experience: He posted homemade videos of his versions of songs by American singer Chris Brown online for his relatives. He received a phone call from Brown, telling him how much he liked his performance. His singing eventually earned him a fan base and a record contract. After releasing a popular EP (extended play密纹唱片) record in November 1009, his album My world 1.0 came out last Tuesday.Bieber sings ballads and songs about puppy love. But is he just another gooey (甜腻的) teen idol? David Malitz, a columnist with the Washington Post, doesn't think so. “If we truly want the best for American childr en, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber，” he writes. “After years of humdrum bubblegum (乏味的摇滚舞曲) from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the 16-year-old has thrown a candy-coated wrench (扭转) into Disney's heartthrob (甜心) assembly line (生产线) by giving young fans something worth screaming their lungs out for: lovable pop songs.”From a boy who grew up below the poverty line with his divorced mom to a star who caused near-riots (近乎失控) in shopping malls, even Bieber himself can't believe his overnight fame, although his kind of success is becoming more and more common in the Internet era.Interested in hockey (冰球), the national sport of Canada, the boy once put up pictures of players on the walls of his bedroom. He dreamed of being a hockey star and used to practice signing his autograph (签名). He doesn't need practice now. He signs autographs, if the girls can get close enough, as a music star.46．What did Chris Brown think of Justin Bieber's singing?A．He didn't like it. B．He liked it very much.C．He didn't say anything. D．He supported Justin Bieber.47．Who is a columnist?A．Chris Brown. B．Jay Chou. C．David Malitz. D．Miley Cyrus.48．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A．He had a happy family. B．His family was very poor once.C．His family was rich. D．His family helped him a lot.49．What's Justin Bieber's hobby?A．Singing. B．Hockey. C．Signing. D．Making records.50.What's the best title of the passage?A．Justin Bieber's overnight singing online.B．Justin Bieber's common experience.C．Justin Bieber's life. D．Justin Bieber's records.第二节补全对话。
